I had to reset Firefox because of a hack to my FB account. I've recreated all of the icons I use but Gmail won't add since Google doesn't think my desktop is one of my devices. I can receive Gmail if I use Chrome. I've tried reaching Google by leaving messages @ the Freemont office in Seattle but thought maybe Mozilla had an answer. Thanks for listening.

Last week I lost all of my bookmarks. It was suggested to log back in and that retrieved my bookmarks in the tool bar. When I click on the black star in browser to save a new bookmark none of my bookmarks show up? Why are they in my tool bar but missing from the save bookmark option? Marty

Per title. If I go to bookmarks->bookmark this tab OR clicking the star icon in the address field I always want it to pop up and ask me where to save it, without having to remember to double click the star icon, or go edit bookmarks menu to move it.

This seems like a poor design, at least for me when more than 90% of the time I don't want it to be in the last used folder. I have been adding bookmarks for decades and it has always asked me where to save them, so muscle memory forgets to go back and edit the bookmark I just saved, and then later on I have to go back and change them all because they are never in the right folder.

I understand if I double click the star in the url it will allow me to change it, but when I'm busy I don't remember to click it again, or double click it, then my bookmark is lost and I have to go searching for it and edit it and it's a hassle.

Is there an about:config setting I've missed to re-enable this basic feature to reduce all the clicking?

I've tried browser.bookmarks.editDialog.showForNewBookmarks both false and true without any change to the behavior.

It's really strange (I'm still trying to understand my relatively new Windows 11 laptop), bookmarks have been where I'd expect them for a few days, then this morning, it's as if Firefox has done some sort of clean/re-arrangement. The bookmarks had disappeared and there wasn't my usual array of sites available along the top. Then by clicking on a few things on the right (Firefox) 'most used' re-appeared, then later the toolbar is there on the right, I'd really like it back on the left And also I'd love to know whether I might have done something unconsciously which caused this.

I can’t see or search for the hundreds of bookmarks I have in the mobile iOS version but have no problem on a laptop. Can’t seem to find an answer anywhere. Tried * and # as I ve found suggested elsewhere. Seems like something that shouldn’t be this hard

The Save to Collection feature needs work on Android. You can't order or edit the bookmarks.

One slight of hand and bookmarks disappear from the collection. No confirmation of delete is offered. The bookmark just disappears.

I cannot seem to add a bookmark from my iPhone. I have done everything on my phone to try and fix it. It just closes the menu and i open it back up and it closes again when i click it. I even checked every folder and link i had and the website i am saving is not there. EVERY other button works to my knowledge, or at least everything i usually use. I am beyond confused and feel i am doing something wrong but i am unsure. I would add a photo but idk how to add a photo of the UI not properly working on my phone.

Nothing is wrong on my computer. Well not anymore. I used to always randomly for no reason lose bookmarks when i moved anything around and had to export them often which i do anyways luckily. It was so bad i had to switch browsers on my computer and phone but tried Firefox again and it seemed to be fixed. But now this is happening. I have not used my phone to save a bookmark for a while as I usually use my computer when using a web browser but it

When i mouse wheel click the bookmark folder, it always switches to the first tab when doing so. This notably doesn't happen when i click the non-folder bookmark. Is there a way not to have this behavior ?

When I search for something, the location bar no longer shows the address and the star to add bookmarks unless I click on a little globe. I installed a Firefox update not long ago but this has only just happened. I'd like to be able to just bookmark searches like I used to.

I have a lot of bookmarks and lot means A LOT OF. When I add any bookmark to a specific folder, then the list becomes a mess. I can't find any folder easily where I want to add new bookmark. It's so inconvenient and time-consuming. So, I request you to please address this issue and improve the bookmark section. I'll be very thankful to you.

Thank you, Naveen.

I have a folder with many bookmarks in it, and when I want to open multiple links in the folder but not ALL of them, I have to keep opening the bookmarks folder after middle clicking each link 1 at a time. I can't open the entire folder - there are 100+ and say I want to open 10.

Is there a way to keep the bookmark folder open while I open each link in new tabs?

Thanks!
